Tesla Daily Chart Analysis

  • Resistance in what technical traders call a pennant pattern was broken a couple of months ago and the stock saw a large push higher, but it's cooling off.
  • Shares may find support near the 50-day moving average. If unable to hold above the average, the price may fall back down toward the higher low trendline that continues off of what used to be pattern support in the pennant pattern.
  • The stock trades above both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating the stock is in a period of bullish sentiment.
  • Each of these moving averages may hold as a potential area of support in the future.
  • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been pushing lower the past few weeks and now sits at 47 on the indicator. This shows that the selling pressure has now outweighed the buying pressure in the stock.
